Will someone please jiggle the toilet handle?

We're outside of Livingstone, Zambia at Victoria Falls. Our hotel, the Zambezi Sun, is only a few steps away from the entrance to the falls. We can hear the falls all day and night. Sometimes you wish they'd shut it off for a while.

We are on the Zambian side of the falls. This is right on the border with Zimbabwe - like the way Niagara Falls is shared by the U.S. and Canada. Most tourists stay here in Zambia because the accommodations are much better and the political situation in Zimbabwe has been dicey the past few years.

We'll post some pictures in the next blog post. Taking a tour of the falls in the morning and then we're taking a helicopter ride over the falls in the afternoon. Conditions permitting, I may be able to post some video clips of our heli ride.

Here's the weather at Victoria Falls. They only report the weather to international news services a couple of times a day, so the sticker below may show "data unavailable."
